Coldfront: Real-Time Strategy
Build a base. Break theirs.
Free · In‑App Purchases
New in 2.3: rebuilt FROST tanks and EMBER base, blasts that light the field, and full-screen iPhone Duo. Go take the map.
One drag, twenty tanks. One tap, and they roll.
Built for touch: the real-time strategy you used to stay up far too late playing.
Free to download. No ads, no timers, no energy bars.
Harvesters roll out to the crystal fields. Your base rises under the cranes. Tanks, infantry and aircraft pour off the line. And somewhere across the map, someone else is doing exactly the same thing.
TWO ARMIES. ONE WAR.
EMBER digs in. FROST follows the money.
EMBER is free, and it goes everywhere. Troopers and Maulers up front, Stormcaller rockets behind them, Skyjacks on jetpacks overhead, and the Titan, for when you're done being polite.
FROST is a whole second army with its own units, buildings and economy. Its Glacier refinery drives out to the ore and sets up shop. Then the weather turns: Avalanches, Whiteout bombers and Hailstorm flak.
Anyone can fight against FROST. Commanding it yourself is a one-time in-app purchase that also unlocks the rest of the campaign. That's the only thing we sell.
BRING A FRIEND. OR BRING SEVEN.
Real people, real time: online battles from 1v1 to 8 players. Host a room and send the code or an invite link, or tap QUICK MATCH. Sign in with Game Center to climb the ranked ladder, or skip it and just play. If a player has to step away, the match pauses for them instead of dropping them.
FIFTEEN MISSIONS
A campaign that teaches, then bites. Act 1 takes you from your first harvester to full-scale assaults across ten missions, and it is free. Act 2 takes the fight to FROST: five more missions against it, the first of them free to play. The rest come with the FROST purchase.
A NEW FRONT EVERY DAY
TODAY'S FRONT is one fresh battle a day, and the whole world gets the same one. Win it, then go again and beat your best time.
SKIRMISH ANYWHERE
Fight the AI on Easy, Normal or Hard. Go it alone, or team up with friends online. Campaign and skirmish work offline, so your commute counts.
DRAW YOUR OWN WAR
Lay out terrain, ore, starting positions and control points in the map editor, then host a room on it: everyone who joins plays your map. Ten built-in maps ship with the game too, from snowfields and desert to city blocks, wetlands and lava rifts.
ON TAPE
Every match you start saves itself as a replay. Relive the win. Scrub to the second the loss went wrong.
IT SOUNDS LIKE A WAR
Shells leave craters. Wrecks burn. The shots you hear started as real recordings. The crystal ore shrinks as you mine it, and you can watch your harvesters fill up. On newer iPhones and iPads, the water moves and the trees sway.
No account to make, no third-party tracking, nothing between you and the next match.
Ratings & Reviews
Fixes the skirmish setup card on the iPhone Duo's outer screen, which could sit pushed down after you returned to the game.
Bug fixes and small improvements.
